He seemed poised.  Took his share of responsibility.  He generally thinks the issue is execution rather than offensive strategy, but acknowledges that he needs to call plays that his players are able to execute.  Seems to dwell a little on the missed field goals and turnovers being the decisive aspects of the game.

I really, really wonder about how Williamson is.

Andrus Peat had a bloody nose and had to keep coming out to stop the bleeding.

One thing that he obliquely pointed out in response to a question about delay-of-game calls was that the referees have their own pace about getting the ball spotted.  The presence of so many hurry-up offenses has resulted in referees spotting the ball more quickly than they once did.  This has a negative effect on huddle offenses.  I did notice a lot of variance about how quickly the clock would start.

Disappointed by his no-huddle answer -- it worked well. Why not see what happens when you experiment a little deeper with it?

Correct me if I'm wrong but this shouldn't matter. At the end of each play, the play clock is reset to 40 seconds. Setting the ball shouldn't stop any team from huddling and calling a play. The pace of ball spotting should really only affect the no huddle teams.

Herbstreit made a good point about the RB by committee being the root cause of that fumble.  We need to pick a guy so that Hogan can develop a rhythm and chemistry.  If Shaw insists on running it inside, there is a back n the roster with power and speed whose red shirt he already burned.  I saw we ride that thoroughbred the rest of the way.

Ball Out Of Bounds (Rule 3-2-5-a-12). When a ball is carried or fumbled out of bounds, the game clock will stop, as always. Beginning in 2008 the game clock will start on the referee's signal when the ball is ready for play, not on the snap. In the last two minutes of the half, however, the clock will start on the snap as before, preserving the ability of the offensive team to maximize strategic use of the clock.

The clock is supposed to start at 40 seconds as soon as a play is blown dead, and so in those cases it would not matter.  But when a play goes out of bounds the clock stops until the refs give a signal.  This is where the inconsistency comes in.  I noticed that the refs sometimes did not give the signal until they spotted the ball, resulting in oodles of time, but at other times signaled almost as soon as someone handed them the ball on the sideline--even when it took quite a bit of time to get the ball back to the spot.  So there were times when Hogan would come to the line with 20 seconds or more on the clock, and other times when he would come to the line with 5 seconds on the clock--or worse.  In fairness, we probably should view the extra time as a mistake that benefited us rather than the other way around.

This was a minor issue in the game and may have contributed to one or two delay penalties and a burned time out, I think, but it is annoying.

Did Young get hurt?  Seemed like he was the most effective back and yet Wright got most of the snaps in second half.  He's the most versatile weapon they have back there

It seemed to my untrained eye that Hogan pulled his fake down too slowly and didn't get the ball in front of Wright in time.  Now, it could be that Wright shouldn't have been that fast to the QB on a delayed handoff...but I don't know if a RB is supposed to keep it slow on approach.
